Abstract: Blood flow is an important parameter of cardiac performance and can be determined by measuring circulation times (1). For that purpose, usually an Anger-Type gamma-camera is used to register the first pass of a radioactive tracer of blood flow through the heart. The acquired data are processed by a suitable computer program yielding time-activity curves for sequential heart segments, which are selected by the region of interest technique. Appropriate smoothing of the curves facilitates theevaluation of data and also the automatic detection of activityarrival (2,3,4). Sequential activity arrivals describe thefastest flow or minimal transit time.
